I am loving Ovid’s style of writing and poetry, it’s very quick moving (I don’t know if I’ve explained this right, but it flows really well, not just from story to story, but also within a few lines it’s quick) and funny at times while also being dark

Yonec - loved this one, one of my favorites thus far. “About the sorrow and grief that they suffered for love.”

Les Deus Amanz - tale of the mountain of the two lovers

I love this quote from the introduction: “life is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel. One attitude is as philosophical as the other, and neither calls for apology.”

fuck that richard baines guy

Lanval - Arthur, Gawain etc mentioned

Bisclavret - wasn’t expecting werewolf but I’m here for it

Le Fresne -

Equitan - “Anyone willing to listen to reason could profit from this cautionary tale. Evil can easily rebound on him who seeks another’s misfortune”

Guigemar - Aw I loved this, a knight and a woman fall in love. He rescues her, classic!

Just realized Marlowe knew my name… he wrote, read, and said my name, that’s the craziest coincidence I’ve ever come across. It fascinates me how this world works…

Imagine being burned for heresy. just… wow

“All revealed religions, Marlowe was accused of saying, were devices used to control and exploit the ignorant masses by making them believe in fables” — I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, Marlowe was ahead of his time.

Marlowe was a genius. His childhood circumstances make his, what seems natural genius, even more intriguing.

Hell yeah Christopher Marlowe

This is on pause for the time being

wow, I just finished book 2. it was intense and simultaneously beautiful in its descriptions of sorrow, panic, and pure rage, incredible storytelling

sigh
